Truth Be Told

With Elon Musk breaking open the treasure trove of information that has been censored by the big tech companies at the behest of law enforcement and the FIB. Naw, I don’t really consider the FIB law enforcement anymore, do you? I mean seriously. Yes, I understand if you’re meeting your niece’s new boyfriend and she says “he’s in law enforcement” and you ask what he does and he says proudly “I’m a special agent with the FIB, I go through the garbage can at James Woods’ house!” that you can’t laugh out loud. But he’s not really law enforcement. Not like a decent Sheriff.

But let’s take a look at how different life might be if people had been told the truth about a few issues.

First up, the big kerfluffle going on now is #TwitterFiles.

It seems the children at the old Twitter, as opposed to the new and definitely improved Twitter, decided to make in kind campaign donations to the Biden crime family by censoring any story the DNC wanted censored. The FIB interfered in yet another federal election by “pre-bunking” the laptop from hell story as well. So the New York Post, the oldest newspaper in the U.S. and doing actual journalism, as opposed to the NY Slimes which is mostly notable now for a crossword puzzle and being a fine birdcage liner or puppy pads, had done a spectacular piece of journalism on Hunter Biden’s laptop. Not about the hookers, drugs or child sex issues but about the ways our country was going to be left vulnerable to foreign influence due to the activities of the whole Biden junta.

Apparently the government telling big tech what and who to censor since they can’t do it themselves, due to that pesky First Amendment, is a no no. Huh, who knew?

Elon Musk Goes Nuclear: ‘If This Isn’t a Violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, What Is?’

As documents released on Twitter appear to indicate that Twitter became a tool of President Joe Biden’s 2020 election campaign, Elon Musk summed up his disgust with what was revealed.

On Friday, journalist Matt Taibbi shared a communication illustrating how complaints were received.

“One executive would write to another: ‘More to review from the Biden team.’ The reply would come back: ‘Handled,’” he posted on Twitter, leading Musk to reply.

“If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?” Musk wrote.

If this isn’t a violation of the Constitution’s First Amendment, what is?

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

And yet, the #TwitterFiles that have been release so far, have seemed to lack a certain amount of information. There seemed to be something missing some have said.

Oh, think the problem has been located and resolved.

Ousted Twitter counsel Jim Baker vetted ‘Twitter Files’ without Elon Musk’s knowledge, Matt Taibbi reveals

Matt Taibbi, the journalist who first broke the news of Elon Musk’s “Twitter Files” revealed that the company’s top lawyer had “vetted” what information was shared without the knowledge of the new boss.

Musk announced on Tuesday that he had terminated Deputy General Counsel Jim Baker “in light of concerns about Baker’s possible role in suppression of information important to the public dialogue.”

And when asked by a Twitter user if Baker was able to explain himself, Musk replied “His explanation was …unconvincing.”

Happily Musk canned his sorry butt and had him escorted from the building.

Twitter files reveal familiar name in Hunter Biden laptop scandal: James Baker

As thousands of Twitter documents are released on the company’s infamous censorship program, much has been confirmed about the use of back channels by Biden and Democratic officials to silence critics on the social media platform. However, one familiar name immediately popped out in the first batch of documents released through journalist Matt Taibbi: James Baker. For many, James Baker is fast becoming the Kevin Bacon of the Russian collusion scandals.

Baker has been featured repeatedly in the Russian investigations launched by the Justice Department, including the hoax involving the Russian Alfa Bank. When Clinton campaign lawyer Michael Sussmann wanted to plant the bizarre false claim of a secret communications channel between the Trump campaign and the Kremlin, Baker was his go-to, speed-dial contact. (Baker would later testify at Sussmann’s trial). Baker’s name also appeared prominently in controversies related to the other Russian-related FBI allegations against Trump. He was effectively forced out due to his role and reportedly found himself under criminal investigation. He became a defender of the Russian investigations despite findings of biased and even criminal conduct. He was also a frequent target of Donald Trump on social media, including Twitter. Baker responded with public criticism of Trump for his “false narratives.”

So, the corrupt James Baker, vetted/censored what Matt Taibbi was to receive in the information he was going to release to try to clean Twitter up from it’s history of partisan censorship. Rich isn’t it? The #TwitterFiles are being released to both Matt Taibbi and Barry Weiss to release to the public. Neither Taibbi or Weiss are exactly conservative or Donald Trump fans, but they are actual journalists. As opposed to say Chris Cuomo, or Don Lemon, or Rachel Maddow, or Brandy Zadrozny whom one of my favorite radio show hosts calls “The blonde bimbo fascist” for her political positions.

But as the sludge of the swamp is being released you can’t help but wonder since the election was decided by about 90,000 votes to have given the pubs a unified government. Would more people than voted for Barry Sotero still have flocked to the polls to vote for a man who had sold the country out to China and Ukraine have still done so? I mean, it does sort of explain why we’re sending millions of taxpayer dollars to a corrupt CIA installed puppet named Zelensky, right? It does explain why almost every decision made by Biden’s teleprompter and the junta benefits China. Would people have voted for that knowingly? We’ll never know because of people like James Baker.

Would people have felt differently if they’d know crusty Joe was lying when he said he had nothing to do with Hunter’s business dealings? Joe Biden’s Involvement in Hunter Biden Dealings Exposed – Joe Met with Hunter Biden’s Business Associate AT LEAST 16 TIMES

A big part of what James Baker censored was the FIB’s role in the big tech censorship that may/did affect the elections.

FBI Coordination With Big Tech Censorship Ahead of 2020 Election Revealed in Agent Deposition, Missouri AG Says since it’s behind a paywall I’ll give you a snippet.

Officials from the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security frequently met with major social media companies ahead of the 2020 election and pointed out users and pieces of content for removal, according to information from a deposition of a senior FBI agent revealed by a state attorney general.

“We found that the FBI plays a big role in working with social media companies to censor speech—from weekly meetings with social media companies ahead of the 2020 election to asks for account takedowns,” Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt said in a series of tweets on Dec. 2, three days after deposing Special Agent Elvis Chan, who’s in charge of cyber affairs at the FBI San Francisco Field Office.

Chan has given major social media companies warnings that have led them to censor information about a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden, son of President Joe Biden, shortly before the election that put Biden in office, according to a lawsuit against the Biden administration led by Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry.

Not content to merely influence American elections, Twitter expanded it’s horizons.

Elon Musk: It Is Likely Twitter Interfered in 2022 Brazilian Election

Elon Musk continues to drop bomb after bomb on the leftist company’s interference in Democratic elections.

On Saturday Elon Musk admitted Twitter likely interfered in the Brazilian presidential elections in favor of convicted felon and Socialist Lula de Silva.

This is BIG, BIG News!

I’ve seen a lot of concerning tweets about the recent Brazil election. If those tweets are accurate, it’s possible that Twitter personnel gave preference to left wing candidates.

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) December 3, 2022

The difference is, in Brazil they know the machines rigged the elections and are still out in the streets and I believe the military is going to override the corrupt, left-wing supreme court that let a man out of jail and cleared his crime so he could run for office. In the Brazilian constitution there is a part that allows the military to do that. The people are probably watching America circle the drain in less than two years of a corrupt stolen election and saying “Oh HELL NO” to that option. Thus, they are still protesting by the millions. Not that the corrupt mainstream media aka #FakeNews is covering it.

What other elections did Twitter interfere in? How’s about Arizona? Yep, Katie Hobbs who campaigned with all the vigor of the ancient Joe Biden from her basement had access to special Twitter friends to take down tweets at her request. Almost like she knew she didn’t need to campaign isn’t it? Eh wot?

PROOF: Crooked Secretary of State Katie Hobbs Had Twitter Silence Her Critics in Arizona – Prior to Gubernatorial Run – Data From MO vs. Biden

Now we know why crooked Katie Hobbs didn’t want to debate Kari Lake?

Why would she when she ran the election, oversaw 30% of election day precinct machines breaking down, had the media in her pocket, and was working with social media platforms to silence her critics!

This is likely criminal activity – especially if she silenced her critics during her gubernatorial run which is likely!

And soon we will hear about how over 70,000 fraudulent ballots were sent out before election day!

What else did Twitter censor? How about documented cases of armed self-defense? The Zelman Partisans and Bear and I both got locked out of Twitter when things supportive of Kyle Rittenhouse were posted on Twitter. Ah, effin’ Twitter and Amnesty? Eff You, Musk.

Apparently young Kyle is curious about such things. Kyle Rittenhouse goes viral after asking if Twitter files will reveal ‘hidden censoring’ against him I believe I’ll enlighten him to the extent I know.

Anything else “life and death” that Twitter suppressed? OH YEA! How many poor souls are on their way to a life of pain, or a shorter life, or a lost life, or a destroyed life because they were denied information about the “safe and effective vaccine” that is neither safe, effective or a vaccine?

Found Dead at Home After COVID-19 Vaccination

The public is becoming increasingly disturbed with reports of death among the vaccinated. It is natural to ask “was the death caused by vaccination?” The most definitive way of answering that question is with autopsy.

Schwab et al reported on deaths after vaccination with detailed autopsies in Heidelberg, Germany.[i] Of 35 fatalities within 20 days of injection, 10 were ruled out as clearly not due to the vaccine (eg drug overdose). The remaining 25 (71%) had final diagnoses consistent with a vaccine injury syndrome including myocardial infarction, worsening heart failure, vascular aneurysm, pulmonary embolism, fatal stroke, and vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Interestingly, 5 cases had acute myocarditis as the cause of death with the histopathology in the heart muscle showing patchy inflammation very similar to what was seen in the deltoid muscle were the mRNA vaccine was injected.

Suppressing Repurposed Drugs ‘Cost Millions of Lives’: Founder of COVID Treatment Fund

The executive director of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation, Steve Kirsch, has been working to make early COVID drug treatments available to the public, despite being assailed by the medical establishment for speaking out about the dangers of the COVID vaccines.

During the pandemic, he founded the COVID-19 Treatment Fund to raise money to test repurposed drugs for use in treating COVID, while health agencies were dismissing their effectiveness and urging the public to get vaccinated as the only way to prevent severe illness and hospitalization.

Not allowing the testing and use of repurposed drugs has cost too many lives said, Kirsch.

“This has cost millions of lives,” and the problem was compounded by a hospital COVID treatment protocol “that was almost certain to kill you,” Kirsch said during a recent interview on EpochTV’s “American Thought Leaders” program.

He said the COVID protocols hospitals have followed, although sanctioned by the federal health agencies, added to the death toll.

Twitter’s First Transparency Reports Are Here and They’re Eye-Opening

Twitter has published its first set of transparency reports about how the site had operated prior to multi-billionaire Elon Musk taking over the company. Among the reports, the social media giant states they are no longer enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information policy.”

Musk had promised the release of the transparency reports, saying it is necessary to regain the trust of the public.

The Twitter Files on free speech suppression soon to be published on Twitter itself. The public deserves to know what really happened …

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 28, 2022

Since January 2020, over 11 million accounts were challenged for violating the COVID-19 information policy, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content were removed

Twitter Stops Enforcing COVID-19 ‘Misleading Information’ Policy

Twitter has stopped enforcing its COVID-19 “misleading information” policy that had resulted in nearly 100,000 pieces of content being cut from the platform and led to more than 11,000 account suspensions.

The social media giant, which was taken over by industrialist Elon Musk at the end of October, said in a report that, effective Nov. 23, Twitter is “no longer enforcing the COVID-19 misleading information policy.”

The report included information about Twitter’s enforcement actions related to its COVID-19 content policies. Between January 2020 and September 2022, there were 11.72 million accounts challenged, 11,230 accounts were suspended, and 97,674 pieces of content removed.

The policy, which was introduced to curb the spread of “harmful misinformation” related to COVID-19, was praised by some, including U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, who in an advisory (pdf) on “building a healthy information environment” cited Twitter’s rules as a model for companies to fight misinformation.

But heavy-handed enforcement of the policy garnered criticism, such as when earlier this year Twitter flagged numerous tweets with factual information about COVID-19 as misinformation and suspended accounts of scientists and doctors.

Probably good that people took lots of screen shots, perhaps they knew the time would come when the government lies would need to be documented. Even as some of the tyrants are calling for amnesty, those who also committed wrong doing are trying to re-write their shameful history.

FDA Trying to Rewrite COVID History on Prohibiting Ivermectin, Dr. Atlas Says

Boyden Gray & Associates filed a lawsuit in June on behalf of three doctors who allege that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) illegally interfered with their doctor–patient relationships, resulting in harm. They also claim that the FDA broke the law when the agency issued statements prohibiting the use of ivermectin to treat COVID-19.

In response to the lawsuit, lawyers for the FDA claimed that its guidance for people to “stop” taking ivermectin for COVID-19 was informal and just a recommendation; as such, they weren’t mandating against it.

However, in an interview that aired on NTD’s “Newsmakers” on Nov. 23, Dr. Scott Atlas, a senior fellow in health care policy at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, confirmed that the FDA did, indeed, take an “unprecedented” approach against ivermectin and said that their defense amounts to the FDA trying to rewrite COVID-19 history.

Know what that reminds me of?

The clip is a tad longer than what I started it at. About 3 ½ minutes total, I’m starting it part way in.

No forgetting, we see you for what you are and aren’t.

There is a whole host of damaging and fatal side effects, and the information has been censored on Twitter, FakeBook and YouTube. The following are short videos from Rumble.

Fauci Lacks Basic Understanding of Evidence-Based Medicine, Trust the Science = Trust the Psychopath

And I would guess all this information, and all these people have been censored from Twitter, YouTube and FakeBook.

But you know who is very curious about all this censorship? Missouri and Louisiana’s Attorney Generals. They’ve had the demented troll aka Fauxci on the stand for over seven hours. Well over 174 times the greedy, power hungry demented troll stated “He couldn’t remember”. Lots of things he couldn’t remember.

When asked to provide a mask study that justifies the chronic hypercarbia he has inflicted on U.S. he can’t. There are many stating the risk and harm, but the demon that inflicted this on U.S. can’t name a one that says they work or are indicated. We also found out the lockdowns came from one man, Clifford Lane. A deputy Fauxci sent to China to see how his buddies were handling WuFlu. Lane came back with a report given to him by China saying the lock downs work. In awe of the power and control over the people, Fauxci couldn’t wait to implement them here. No studies, no nothing. Just taking the word of a Chinese dictator. If you want to read the whole transcript. Here ya go. https://ago.mo.gov/docs/default-source/press-releases/135885afauci112322_full_redacted.pdf?sfvrsn=35f4a425_2

Guess some of that information censored on the Hunter Biden laptop from hell would explain why the U.S. squashed the peace agreement Russia and Ukraine had worked out, huh? Ukraine is too good a money laundering operation for the demoncrats and corrupt republicans. Not to mention, they’ve paid the Biden crime family a LOT of money to look after their interests. Lloyd Austin (is he still on the board of Raytheon?) said the quiet part out loud, they want to use Ukraine to weaken Russia. The country who isn’t attacking churches like Zelensky is. Because you know, democracy always involves attacking religious institutions, right?

We Are Using Ukraine To Do WHAT?!

But if you think the government is only using private business to attack the First Amendment, you would be wrong.

FedEx and UPS Help Feds Track Gun Sales, State Attorneys General Say

Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen, together with 17 other state attorneys general, are asking shipping companies UPS and FedEx to explain their newly implemented policies to track and record Americans’ firearms purchases and disclose whether these policies have been coordinated with the Biden administration.

In letters sent on Nov. 29 to FedEx CEO Raj Subramaniam and UPS CEO Carol B. Tomé, Knudsen and his co-signers wrote that the shipping companies’ policies “allow your company to track firearm sales with unprecedented specificity and bypass warrant requirements to share that information with federal agencies.”

“What both of these companies are saying is that they’re doing this so they can better cooperate with law enforcement,” Knudsen told The Epoch Times. “That’s all fine and well, until you find out that that’s a violation of federal law.”

I am convinced one of the most important positions in government has become these state Attorney Generals.

Is Elon Musk a good guy or a bad guy? I dunno. But he understand freedom of information and speech are essential to the survival of his adopted homeland. Something I wish more people understood. I’m pretty sure I can think of more than a few people that still think the jab is a great idea and are looking forward to their every other month booster jab. Never mind each one weakens the natural immune system. If Rachel Maddow, Joy Behar or, well, who’s left on CNN? Anderson Cooper? If one of them didn’t tell them, then it’s not true. They’d bet their life on it.

I think Elon is on the right track here. The White House spokes-clown just called the #TwitterFiles a distraction, the televised DNC propaganda crew called news casters are all ignoring it like it’s not happening and the DNC propaganda crew called talk show hosts are all busy trying to explain why it’s a bad thing people are getting honest information and corruption is being exposed. Yep, to the left, that’s a bad thing. So, if all those people have their panties in a twist, this is a very good thing indeed. Prayers for Elon’s safety.

The Arizona Train wreck

2 Comments

No, I don’t mean there was a train wreck in Arizona, I mean Arizona is a train wreck. Nevada too for that matter.

There is so much that is wrong with the charade. It’s basically the same charade of an election we had in 2020, but since the GOP establishment did nothing about it, and everyone wanted to “move on” and the phrase “election denier” became the hot new thing along with Ukraine we are living through it again. And our friends in Arizona will pay the highest price. But I actually do have some suggestions coming. But first, lets have a look at the illegal corrupt actions.

First an incompetent Secretary of State who is also a candidate for Governor and refused to recuse herself/itself/whatever, despite bi-partisan call to do so.

Trusting Hobbs

Second, only a couple of times have I seen the unlikely campaign strategy of hide in your basement and refuse to debate employed successfully. Hobbs is one of them, Beijing Biden being the other. Kari Lake had I believe over double the social media followers as the corrupt Hobbs, and far more enthusiasm for her campaign.

Now lets look at Hobbs incompetence. Much of this comes from citizens and independent media.

Expert, Dan Sundin, has honed in on the likely cause of why 30% of the tabulators in Arizona could not process the majority of Republican ballots on Election Day.

During the 2022 General Election, the election programming was set up to process 20″ long ballots. This was a change from the 2020 General and the 2022 Primary ballots, which were 19″ long – an inch shorter.

So when Arizona election officials say they don’t know what happened on November 8th because everything was the same as Arizona’s primary – this isn’t true.

The ballot size wasn’t the same.

Why does that matter?

The sample ballot pdf’s published by Maricopa County and the Runbeck-printed ballots used for mail-in voting were correctly made to to 20″ length in the 2022 General. So there have been no problems processing Democrat-leaning, mail-in ballots.

However, the ballot on demand printers used for in-person voting only have 19″ trays that contain 19″ ballot paper.

This means, that for in-person voting, the official ballot image had to be compressed to fit on smaller paper than it was built for.

Compression causes the ink to be a little lighter than it should be, and thus affects how the tabulators read the ballot.

Maricopa County directed some voting centers to increase how dark the printing was, and this helped the problem somewhat.

The bigger problem, however, is that compressing the image skews where the ovals end up on the paper. The tabulators use a digital map to know where to look for votes. If the ovals aren’t where they belong, the tabulator won’t be able to find them, or will misread them. This problem will cause the tabulators to improperly read ovals, or not be able to read the ballot at all.

This is what most likely caused the high rejection rate and why so many ballots ended up having to be set aside in Drawer 3 – which led to another set of problems, and a lot of delay.

We all know delay favors fraud.

The equipment tabulating ballots at the MCTEC center is different than the Dominion ICP tabulators used for in-person, Election Day voting. Those scanners are more forgiving for shrunk/skewed ballots and are able to be manually adjudicated by election workers. That’s likely why we’re not seeing the same problems in the processing of ballots which were cast early in-person.

It’s clear that whatever logic and accuracy testing was done in Arizona to get ready for Election Day wasn’t a real world test.

The logic and accuracy test used pristine, pre-printed ballots that were professionally printed offsite and fed into the Dominion ICP tabulators to make sure they were working.

A real logic and accuracy test, however, would have used ballots printed on-site by the ballot-on-demand printers. That would have been a genuine end-to-end test, and it would have caught what ended up being a massive problem.

Since Republicans are more likely to vote in person on Election Day, they were disproportionately affected and disenfranchised by the incompetence of the election officials. Failing to correctly test the system to understand the effect of changing the ballot size was a fatal error. This amounted to a massive violation of voters’ constitutional rights, which requires equal protection under the law.

This issue didn’t affect the Democrat-leaning mail-in ballots. The Democrat-leaning, early in-person ballots are processed at the MCTEC Center on equipment more able to process the skewed images and manually adjudicate problem ballots.

We don’t know if all this was intentional or not. But the poorly-designed process and failure to properly test equipment under real world conditions have led to yet another third-world election in Arizona.

It’s worth noting that hand counting would not be affected in the slightest by a skewed ballot. Get rid of the machines.

In the long term, everyone in leadership associated with the travesty and betrayal of the citizens has got to go. The is a battle to see if the pub party can be salvaged. I’m not optimistic. Leadership never addressed and hid from the steal of 2020. They either didn’t like President Trump, or was afraid when the swamp got drained they would go down as well. As they should, what they did was deny the will of “We The People” and decide our vote didn’t matter. But the illusion of voting matters is gone. People knew the Dims would cheat, that’s how they roll, the goal was to overwhelm with our votes to make it impossible (or almost) to do so. Charade over.

Kevin McCarthy has done nothing to help our candidates, nothing. The Murder Turtle not only didn’t help our candidates, he donated money and worked against them, such as Lisa Murkowski. And Mitt’s daughter Ronna? Who on earth thought letting a Romney be in charge of the RNC was a good idea?

If you aren’t aware, and are curious of the myriad of ways Ronna is a worse choice than a head of lettuce, it’s worth a few minute read for the list.

So this is the next step, first ballots, then a complete purge of the failed and feckless pub “leadership” and I think I threw up a little when I had to type “Leadership”.

An interesting, but totally unrelated story. While Israel had their election with paper ballots, hand counted, the conservative pro-Israel, pro-Israeli citizen side won, Brazil like America used the Demoncrat cheat machines. And the wildly popular President went down to convicted criminal Lula. Huh. Apparently there were SO many voter irregularities that the good citizens of Brazil question the results of the election. Go figure. However, it seems they aren’t falling in line and behaving.

Side note, when Demoncrats and the media say “Democracy is on the ballot. Democracy is going to die if Republicans are elected” has anyone asked them what their idea of “Democracy” is? It’s basically mob rule and tyranny, so. But back to the judge expla….oh wait, he’s gone. He’s not in Brazil now.

Amnesty?

7 Comments

A woman named Emily Oster has written an article for The Atlantic, Let’s Declare A Pandemic Amnesty. In it she takes the approach of well, we didn’t know any better, ya know.

Mistakes were made on BOTH sides?

Um, no.

A very popular Halloween costume this year, perhaps

The demented troll
The CDC, FDA, HHS, etc.

Information, information has become like gold if it’s honest. And if it’s coming from a government source, almost any government source, except perhaps someone like Kari Lake or Eric Schmitt who are both candidates, or Ron DeSantis or Dr. Joseph Lapado could perhaps be giving honest info. Beyond that, I’d look to doctors who have openly been trying to save lives like Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Ryan Cole, Dr. Pierre Kory, Dr. Christina Parks, the late Dr. Zev Zelenko has a foundation that is active, Dr. Simon Goddek, Dr. Henry Ealy, Dr. Simone Gold (who went to jail for speaking out) Dr. Peter McCullough is now being stripped of some of his certifications. Medicine is a captured agency, just like the federal law enforcement agencies. No word on the Texas Rangers yet.

Without solid information, how are people suppose to make wise decisions? For example, did anyone notice around the time the Ukraine boondoggle started, RT and other Russian sources of news were blacked out, except for some places like Rumble or GAB? And recently Macaroon of France informed Rumble they needed to block RT news or they were in big trouble with France! Rumble said fine, France is now cut off from Rumble. This is very important because YouTube is censoring more aggressively than ever.

Big Tech working for Big Pharma and Govt.

There are two foreign countries right now that the Biden crime junta is interfering in their sovereignty, or trying to. But I’m not sure the Biden teleprompter programmers are going to outwit Vlad, and hopefully not the people of Brazil. Perhaps it’s worth mentioning, Israel also held elections, but in Israel the conservative side won. Unlike Brazil, Israel uses paper ballots and hand counts them, unlike Brazil. They like America, use the fraud machines. They also vote in one day, like France, for example.

For some reason, there are forces really really determined to keep Russian news from reaching regular people in the west, but lies? Oh we have those aplenty.

MASSIVE ANTI-RUSSIAN ‘BOT ARMY’ EXPOSED BY AUSTRALIAN RESEARCHERS

A team of researchers at the University of Adelaide have found that as many as 80 percent of tweets about the 2022 Russia-Ukraine invasion in its early weeks were part of a covert propaganda campaign originating from automated fake ‘bot’ accounts.

An anti-Russia propaganda campaign originating from a ‘bot army’ of fake automated Twitter accounts flooded the internet at the start of the war. The research shows of the more than 5-million tweets studied, 90.2 percent of all tweets (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were pro-Ukraine, with fewer than 7 percent of the accounts being classed as pro-Russian.

The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable ‘angst’ in the online discourse.

Then take the elections in Brazil. Jair Bolsonaro is all that stood between China’s control of South America. The rest of South America has already fallen. I haven’t figured out why, but the people running Bejing Biden’s teleprompter decided to interfere in the Brazilian elections, a few months ago. Apparently the CIA, taxpayer funded, decided to go to Brazil, eat some ice cream and threaten the wildly popular President Bolsonaro that he must accept the election results without question. Two months ago. Reminds me of when the Demoncrats installed Morsi in Egypt, Zelensky in Ukraine and now they’re trying to install DeSilva in Brazil. In none of those countries did the CIA installed puppet do good things for the people. Biden Issues Fatwa Justifying The Crushing Of His Political Opposition – What Comes Next?

You know who doesn’t believe the election result? Brazilians.

DHS Censorship Lead Believes Big Tech Has ‘Moral Obligation’ To Suppress Populism, Advised Group Working With DNC To Censor Conservatives.

Yes, and besides censoring us, they spy on us.

So, besides censoring with the help of big tech, the selection in Brazil, not to be confused with an actual election, what information has been withheld from people? The life altering kind. A short run down, of many aspects of what Fauxci, Walensky, the FDA, CDC and HHS have hidden or lied about as their willing shills the talking heads parroted it.

Remdesiver is killing people. The failed Ebola drug that had to be removed from the study because it was killing too many people. Manufactured by Gilead Sciences, for whom Fauxci gives speeches. He probably does that for free though, right? Nurses will lie about this one too, like the one that insisted on trying to lie to me and tell me it is safe when I expressly told the hospital not to use it on my Mom and they did anyway.

Do you think if they’d known, if they’d really known the risks, would they have taken the experimental gene therapy shot re-labeled as a vaccine to get around the testing requirements?

Would they have chosen to force if on their elderly relatives (unless they were looking for an inheritance) knowing it lowers their immune responses?

And this is by no means an exhaustive list.

I have nothing but sympathy for those that were forced into the experimental injections against their will. What a horrible choice, and I would hope they have a nice lawsuit coming. To be forced into a medical experiment with the coercion of loss of your job when you have a family to feed is not informed consent. Nor is being forced into it to go to family dinners, but probably few will sue family, and you don’t really have to go, not like you have to work to pay bills. My humble thoughts are, if they are going to treat you like that, do you really want to be around them? But I’m probably not a good person to ask.

Shilling for vaccine? But for people like this? The ones that lied, the ones that vax shamed, the ones that threatened and coerced? The doctors and nurses that have totally abandoned their Hippocratic oath, mistaking it for a hypocrite oath? Yeah… no. For you I have another answer, we shall get to it in just a moment.

Covid has been the most effective tool in bringing about the “Great Reset” as advertised on all major news media outlets as a wonderful thing, they just don’t tell you that’s why they’re pushing you to eat bugs now and shame farmers for using fertilizer, and regulate us into famine. People willingly torture their own children, swim in the fresh air and sunshine wearing a mask and react with anything from nervousness to hysteria when they see someone without a mask. Still. Families are torn apart, work relationships strained, I’ve heard nurses I work with say they don’t think the un-injected are entitled to medical care. I despise them and will never think of them in the same way. The massive amount of othering and ostracizing of people is far to reminiscent of pre-WWII Germany. It must have been lurking below the surface, but this brought it out. The flat out lies, Cuomo using a picture of a wedding in 2014 to single out the Jewish community for having a wedding should have been a big red flag as he lectured and threatened. The businesses ruined, the livelihoods lost, all of this putting increased pressure on the dwindling middle class. The censorship encouraged by the Demoncrats and willingly carried out by almost every social media platform, Twitter, Fakebook, YouTube, Google arranging their search algorithm to bury information they didn’t want you to find, and about anything else big, as well as almost every mainstream media source, all guilty. All guilty and have blood on their hands because they deprived people of information they needed to make a reasoned choice. And this is viewed as acceptable now by the left, they call it “stopping disinformation” You serf, are not to be allowed information, because information is power and we have it and you don’t and won’t.

There is an election on Tuesday. Never forget that the worst offenders of this atrocity and mass murder scheme have been Demoncrats and their financial enablers. Even politicians that you thought were “moderate” demoncrats aren’t. Manchin tore the mask off that one. He made a deal with the Biden crime junta and signed onto the new green deal selling out his constituents. And where did that get him? Screwed, probably didn’t even buy him dinner first. But, it’s too late Manchin and I hope you’re gone next round of elections.

Manchin Unleashes on Biden Over ‘Disgusting’ Pledge to End Coal

Manchin Demands Public Apology From Biden Over ‘Outrageous’ Coal Comments

Demand and unleash all you want Manchin, too late now, you sold out America and the Biden Crime junta doesn’t respect you in the morning and truth be told, they didn’t respect you before they did it.

So when voting, in my usually humble opinion, don’t vote for ANYthing, ANYthing with a D after it’s name. Of course there are bad Republicans, absolutely nutless wonders! Look at the corrupt Mitch McConnell and whussy Kevin McCarthy. Then there are Mitt Romney, Lisa Mukowski, Susan Collins, Lindsay Graham, and at least Roy Blunt is going to be gone. Guess he’s got a sweet lobbying gig lined up now probably. But here’s the thing, like with Manchin, if they are a demoncrat, they have to tow the party line. And that can put all kinds of pressure on them. There is nothing, nothing good in the Demoncrats plans for America. They think they have us, U.S. finished off, and maybe they do, it’s all in G-d’s hands. But even when G-d fought battles for us, we were at least required to show up and march and blow horns, or scale walls with one sword and our armor bearer. We had to suit up and show up and do our part. If you have to vote for a crappy less than stellar Republican, their party can put pressure on them too. And what a fabulous party it will be with some more MTGs, Lauren Boberts, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley and the hopefully incoming Eric Schmitt, Herschel Walker and others. They have grit, guts and determination and best of all they love this country. With governors like Kari Lake, Ron DeSantis, Tudor Dixon, Doug Mastriano, and Lee Zeldin we could see our country survive. But that too is in G-d’s hands. Think of the pressure they would put on a Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins or Roy Blunt, I bet Old corrupt Mitch would be out of leadership as he should be.

My prayer is that people continue to wake up, and see what is happening.

To answer the question, can we just forget and let bygones be bygones?

Then and Now

A girl friend and I were talking the other day. Her Mom was medically mismanaged as well, resulting in her death. She and her brother had debated on if a lawsuit should be brought or not. I said there has to be retribution of some kind. If there is no retribution they have gotten away with it and most certainly are going to do it again. And there are plenty of signs they are already planning to do so. So, my promised solutions to the modern day Dr. Josef Mengeles out there. There have been solutions proposed.

Amnesty 3000

But me? Me, I’m kind of an old fashioned girl at heart. I figure once precedent has been set probably ought to go with it. No reason to re-invent the wheel, eh what?

The prototype?

A radio show I really enjoy is Temple Talk out of Israel. In last weeks Parsha, Noach, at the end of the podcast Yitzhak Ruven was talking about how Noach didn’t really try to warn the people so much of the impending doom. He just kept building his ark. But then Yitzhak said, maybe he did, maybe he did try and people just blew him off with “You’re crazy old man, you don’t know what you’re talking about”. Probably thought Noach was some kind of conspiracy nut. And all of a sudden I had a great sympathy and understanding of Noach for all the people that had tried to warn there was something off about the shot.

Kristallnacht is November 9-10. Ignoring signs is so very dangerous. Imagine, people trapped in their home, their businesses boycotted and failing, not allowed to go get food, hungry families, stuffed into Covid quarantine camps ghettos. There must be a reckoning.

Vote.

I started this column and thought I’d have it finished on the 5th of November, Guy Fawkes day. If you replace the word Catholic in this article with Conservative, well. Guy Fawkes Day: A Brief History and if you’ve ever seen the movie V for Vendetta, this little film clip comes from that movie. This would be the start of an actual insurrection. You know, like Madonna talked about when President Trump was elected and she said she wanted to blow up the White House. How long has she been in the D.C. gulag now?

Constitution, Courts, gun control, guns, Law, SCOTUS, So Much Stupid!

Turning BRUEN On Its Head

The Firearms Policy Coalition and the Second Amendment Foundation are suing Washington over its “high capacity” (10+ rounds) magazine ban. That’s old news in itself. What is new is that the Aliiance for Gun Responsibility joined the case as “intervenor-defendant.”

Yes, someone petitioned the court to be sued. Odd, but not unprecedented. More often if someone thinks they have valid points to bring to the court’s attention they would file an amicus brief. But actually being a party to the case gives them more leeway to file motions and responses and potentially call more witnesses.

But I couldn’t help wondering exactly what the AGR, the primary backers of the ban, expected to bring before the court that the existing governmental defendants couldn’t or wouldn’t.

The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 38’s assertion that LCM regulations are “recent phenomena.”
[…]
The Alliance specifically denies Paragraph 39’s assertion or suggestion that LCMs have been common in America (or anywhere else in the world) for hundreds of years.

Wait. What? Large capacity magazines aren’t recent but have been around for quite a while, but they haven’t been around for quite a while? They regulated something that hadn’t been around?

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs—and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation. The Alliance admits that the only known example in existence of the Wheellock rifle was made in Germany around 1580 and was capable of firing 16 shots.

Basically, we are looking at a –admittedly confused — variation of the old “the founders never envisioned anything but single-shot muskets” argument. Buy with a weird twist to account for the ruling in BRUEN.

The Alliance admits that, to the extent weapons capable of firing more than ten rounds existed before the 20th century, they were experimental, unusual, impractical, unreliable, prohibitively expensive, or otherwise not analogous to modern firearms equipped with LCMs— and thus unlikely to necessitate government regulation.

BRUEN requires that gun control laws and regulations have a basis in general, historical tradition.

The test that the Court set forth in Heller and applies today requires courts to assess whether modern firearms regulations are consistent with the Second Amendment’s text and historical understanding. Of course, the regulatory challenges posed by firearms today are not always the same as those that preoccupied the Founders in 1791 or the Reconstruction generation in 1868. But the Constitution can, and must, apply to circumstances beyond those the Founders specifically anticipated, even though its meaning is fixed according to the understandings of those who ratified it.

AGR is arguing that specific firearms — innovations — have a basis in such tradition, or they can by default be regulated. AGR’s attorney, Kai Smith, just got BRUEN completely ass-backwards.

Never mind that SCOTUS disposed of that very argument in BRUEN. Or, for that matter, in the earlier Caetano v. Massachusetts (2016)…

the Second Amendment extends, prima facie, to all instruments that constitute bearable arms, even those that were not in existence at the time of the founding”

AGR would have us — and specifically the court — believe that the only reason that the government didn’t “envision” magazine limits was that they didn’t envision “high capacity” magazines. And of course if they’d anticipated that, they would have preemptively banned such Progress of Science and useful Arts”.

Instead of promoting innovation.

Pro-tip, AGR: Just because Madison didn’t invent “high capacity” magazine-fed semi-automatic firearms does not mean he didn’t anticipate such a possibility.

James Madison, known for his role in drafting the Bill of Rights (including that pesky 2A) lived through the rise of repeating firearms, breechloaders, paper cartridges, percussion caps, metallic cartridges, pinfire cartridges, centerfire cartridges, revolvers, and mass production of firearms.
[…]
Yet never once did Madison stop and say, “Whoa, guys! We didn’t have any of this new shit in mind. The Second Amendment is just for muskets.”

It’s almost as if they foresaw “Progress of Science and useful Arts” — including arms. And communications systems. You might even get the impression they sought to “promote” such advancements by “securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.”

This — aside from the lack of a law degree — is why I’ll never be a federal judge. I’d have sanctioned attorney Kai Smith for that frivolous, self-contradictory filing that completely reverses the meaning of two separate Supreme Court rulings.

Another One Bites The Dust

3 Comments

A few weeks ago, I noted that Gun Control Act of 1968 restrictions were in serious trouble, post-BRUEN.

Unconstitutional GCA restrictions are beginning to drop like flies, now that the Supreme Court has put the lower courts on notice that the intermediate scrutiny game doesn’t play anymore.
[…]
“What makes the Second Amendment right second class this time? Where’s the general historical tradition for that, since it never existed prior to 1968?”

Chalk up another one.

Judge Rules Federal Ban on Guns With Removed Serial Numbers Is Unconstitutional
A judge has ruled that a federal law banning guns that have had their serial numbers removed is unconstitutional.
[…]
Serial numbers were first required by the federal Gun Control Act of 1968 to allow guns to be traced. They were adopted in an effort to prevent illegal gun sales.
[…]
Goodwin, a nominee of President Bill Clinton, found in his decision that the federal ban on guns with removed serial numbers is not consistent with the United States’ “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

He noted that a firearm without a serial number was not considered more dangerous compared to other firearms in 1791, when the Second Amendment was adopted. At the time, “serial numbers were not required, or even in common use,” he said, adding that the serial numbers “arose only with the advent of the mass production of firearms,” putting it outside of the “historical tradition of firearm regulation.”

The GCA only required firearms commercially manufactured after 1968 — nearly two centuries after the founding of the country — to be serialized. The requirement was not retroactively applied to existing firearms, and still does not apply to privately manufactured firearms. That’s hardly a general historical tradition, as Judge Goodwin (a Clinton appointee, no less) correctly noted.

Not that the requirement was even effective at preventing “illegal gun sales” or thefts. A thief wouldn’t care, and defacing a serial number simply exposed him — prior to this ruling — to another piled on charge. A person knowingly making an illegal sale simply ignores the requirement to not deface, preventing its trace back to him.

Of course, with a national “time to crime” of 8.80 years on traced guns, even an unlawful seller of a serialized gun is pretty safe.

The government still has Price on a felon in possession charge, so some might think the prosecutors would just be happy with putting him away for years on that, and not waste time fighting the defaced serial number issue. Victim-disarming control freaks can rest assured that they will challenge this. They can’t afford not to do so.

First, the feds never want to lose a charging tool. Piling on charges is too useful in plea bargaining.

Second, and possibly more importantly, this ruling mucks with the current “ghost gun” narrative.

The term “ghost gun” has been used to vilify privately manufactured firearms (PMF). But showing just how commonly they are used in crime has been tricky. The observant should have noticed that when PMF ban-bunnies start talking about the evils of home builds, they rapidly shift to “unserialized” or “defaced” when it comes to actual numbers. At that point, they’ve established in the minds of the ignorant that “ghost guns” are home-made, but the scary numbers really include PMFs, defaced commercial arms, and pre-1986 firearms that never had or required serial numbers. Conflation is a favorite tool of victim-disarmers (see “assault rifle” v. “assault weapon“).

This ruling, left standing, endangers six pages worth of current federal “ghost gun” legislation. Not too mention future attempts to criminalize historical, lawful activity. The feds can’t have that.

The Supreme Court of the Public Broadcasting System?

A few days ago, I ran across a column by a Terrence Cummings, “COMMENTARY: But for Rittenhouse doctrine.” It was the usual garbage you’d expect from victim disarmers. I didn’t — at the time — think it worth a response column, but I did write to Cummings.

“But for the Rittenhouse doctrine, you would think you would have a right to take your AR-15 to any grievance or protest near you and across state lines. Then, you could possibly “murder” (used loosely throughout this piece) two people, injure another and call it self-defense.”

Lessee…

1. Rittenhouse didn’t have an AR-15. It was a Smith & Wesson M&P rifle.

2. Rittenhouse didn’t take the rifle across state lines.

3. “Murder” is a specific term best not used “loosely,” unless you enjoyed being sued for libel/defamation. Murder is the deliberate, unjustified killing of a human being by another human being. The general term you are searching for (if you were being honest) is “homicide.”

3a. Rittenhouse fled his first attacker. He fired only when trapped and physically attacked. That is confirmed by video evidence and witness testimony.

3b. Rittenhouse again fled an attacking mod (video & witnesses). He fired again when, laying on the ground, he was again attacked with potential lethal force (the skateboard; if you doubt that’s potentially lethal, ask the family of the Santa Monica man killed by being struck in the head with a skateboard, or check with the California police officer who ended up in ICU when struck with a skateboard by an Antifa protester).

3c. Rittenhouse — still on the ground — fired again at a person who repeated aimed his own unlawfully possessed firearm at Rittenhouse. Video & witnesses.

4. Immediately after the shootings, Rittenhouse fled the pursuing crowd and attempted to turn himself in to the police.

I never made it much past that, since you’d already proved yourself ignorant of federal and state law and the events of the night, and that you are grossly biased.

Cummings’ reply was simple.

Thanks so much for your email and sharing your perspective. It is welcomed and appreciate.

I assumed that was the end of it, until this morning when I received another email from Mr. Cummings. He referred me to another, earlier column he wrote: “COMMENTARY: America worships guns.”

Republican Congresscritter Flips Off America On Way Out The Door

3 Comments

Not to mention his constituents. Rep-rehensible Chris Jacobs had already decided to “retire” after pissing off them with his pro-“assault weapon” ban vote so badly that he was utterably un-reelectable. I wonder where exactly he plans to live after leaving the House, after filing this bill.

JACOBS INTRODUCES ASSAULT WEAPONS LICENSING LEGISLATION
Congressman Chris Jacobs (NY-27) introduced the Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act, legislation designed to put in place additional protections on accessing high-powered weapons.
[…]
The Federal Assault Weapons Licensing Act would create a new licensing system for any American seeking to purchase a new assault weapon – anyone who already owns an assault weapon at the time of enactment would be grandfathered in. The licensing process would require an individual to take a mandatory safety course, pass an FBI background check, submit fingerprints, and provide proof of identity. This license would need to be renewed every five years if an individual wants to purchase or obtain additional assault weapons.
[…]
The bill also incorporates reasonable exemptions. Like individuals who already own an assault weapon, active-duty military and law enforcement officers would not need a license.

Not much more information of the bill, H.R.8882 – To amend title 18, United States Code, to require a license to acquire or receive an assault weapon, and for other purposes, is available. No text is published yet.

Just what we can see, though, really suffices. A federal licensing scheme with zero “general historical tradition.” An unconstitutionally vague allowance for revoking licenses for unspecified reasons. What we have here is yet another example of an oath-breaking SOB knowing his proposal flies in the face of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings, but forcing the people to waste money fighting it in court anyway.

H.R. 8882 should be going nowhere. It doesn’t even have a single cosponsor yet, indicating that even Dim-ocrats know this is a loser and that they have more pressing things to attend to in the mid-terms.

A separate, but related issue is the bill’s Constitutional Authority Statement. I like to look at those, if only to understand how a weasel’s mind works; “know your enemy,” after all. Sometimes they are clever twistings, but more often they look like this one:

Congress has the power to enact this legislation pursuant
to the following:
Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.

Well, that narrows it down; not. Lessee… taxes, naturalization, coining money, patents, war, calling out the militia…

I seem to be missing the part about licensing firearm ownership. Could he get a little more specific?

About Constitutional Authority Statements
On January 5, 2011, the House of Representatives adopted an amendment to House Rule XII. Rule XII, clause 7(c) requires that, to be accepted for introduction by the House Clerk, all bills (H.R.) and joint resolutions (H.J.Res.) must provide a document stating “as specifically as practicable the power or powers granted to Congress in the Constitution to enact the bill or joint resolution.”

Fail. But if he can’t grasp the Constitution, why would we expect the scumbag to puzzle out House Rules?

Hey, maybe he’s think of the usual, catch-all “general Welfare” clause, so beloved of oath-breakers.

Except H.R. 8882 isn’t exactly “general.” It exempts millions, while purporting applying to unknown future people (hmm, like next generations inheriting currently owned firearms?). It applies to common citizens, but exempt state actors.

For that matter, you might even wonder how licensing and limiting ownership of militia-suitable firearms comports with arming the Militia, which is mentioned in Section 8.

According to the press release, there are a couple of other elements of concern should this bill magically advance.

Importantly, this bill will also increase the availability of information on criminals that the FBI draws from when conducting a background check.

How? Would this be yet another attempt to bribe states to submit more data to NICS? Or might it be some expansion of prohibited person disqualifiers?

It also allows non-license holders to assume a weapon if it is necessary to prevent imminent death or serious harm to another person.

Call me cynical (I do), but I somehow suspect this is a backdoor “red flag” provision to disarm people who manage to escape all the other prohibiting disqualiers.

But maybe I worry too much. After all, Jacobs assures us that…

The bill also contains protections for the privacy and constitutional rights of license holders.

Sure. No doubt a bill specifically intended to violate constitutionally protected human/civil rights will protect whatever Jacobs leaves of those same rights.

I’d love to ask Jacobs’ office for an advance copy of H.R. 8882, but like so many oath-breakers, he won’t accept emails from outside of his district. Maybe he should sponsor bills that would screw those of us outside of his district.

More Illegaller In Georgia

Reports indicate that Georgia Dim-ocrats are planning some interesting gun control bills for the next session. I have questions.

Spoiler: Rep Sandra Scott is a Dim-ocrat, from the Atlanta area (District 76). Yes, you can expect stupidity.

Georgia Democrats Plan Gun Control Push in Legislature’s Next Session
Lawmakers plan to introduce bills similar to House bills 962 and 971, which did not advance during this year’s session and would require owners to report lost or stolen firearms and require firearm dealers to furnish gun locks in all retail firearm sales.

Right off, I see a problem. The previous HB 971 (also sponsored by Scott), which this new legislation would seemingly mirror, was rather more than a requirement that firearms dealer provide locks. It was a “secure storage” requirement for gun owners. I’ve noted that other attempts at “safe storage” (i.e.- useless for defense) laws have been fairly carefully written since Heller (2008), which tossed the requirement that firearms be “unloaded and disassembled or bound by a trigger lock.” The cleverer laws impose liability on a gun owner if an unauthorized person accesses and misuses a firearm. Scott’s 971 would have made “improper” storage a misdemeanor criminal offense whether or not a firearm is accessed, much less if it’s used.

This year’s Bruen ruling also comes into play with this unsafe storage requirement. In that case, the Supreme Court decided that gun control laws must be evaluated, not under intermediate scrutiny (“does it serve a perceived governmental need”) or strict scrutiny (“does it even work”), but under a general historical tradition test that begins with a presumption that Second Amendment rights must be protected.

How exactly does Scott justify so-called “secure storage” of firearms and mandatory reporting of lost or stolen firearms with BRUEN? A few quick searches don’t reveal any general historical tradition of requiring that firearms be stored in an unusable state.

From there, Scott descends into sheer stupidity, or lunacy; you decide.

State Rep. Sandra Scott, D-Rex, said lawmakers are also eying legislation that would prevent Glock owners from turning the guns into automatic weapons.

26 U.S. Code § 5861(a) and 18 U.S. Code § 922(a)(4)make it a felony for any unlicensed person to manufacture (or convert) a machinegun. The Firearms Owners Protection Act of 1986 prohibited virtually all manufacture or transfer of mew machineguns. Georgia Code § 16-11-122 and § 16-11-123 likewise already ban possession of machineguns not federally licensed and taxed. Thus, it is, and has been for decades, unlawful for Glock, or any other firearm, owners to covert their firearms into machineguns.

What is the purpose of a new, redundant law outlawing that which is already outlawed, eh, Scott?

She did know this, right? Perhaps her proposed bill will address the issue of criminals who are already ignoring Georgia and federal law.

Ready for more legislative dumbassery?

“We really need to be trying to come up with a way that will restrict kids from being able to go in and purchase weapons…”

“Go in and purchase” suggests that she is speaking of “kids” (minors) purchasing firearms in gun stores. Raise your hands if you see the issue here.

18 U.S. Code § 922 makes it unlawful, a felony, for those under 18 to purchase a firearm from a licensed dealer (and makes it a crime for a dealer to make such a sale). How did Scott miss that? It isn’t something new.

Georgia Code § 16-11-132 makes it unlawful for minor to even possess handguns, with certain exceptions for specified sporting activities under supervision, another long standing restriction that seems to have escaped the Dim-wit’s notice.

I brought these issues to Rep. Scott’s attention. To her credit, and unlike most pols, she actually replied.

Thanks for the information. I will have the legislation reviewed because I am concerned..

It seems to me that the proper time to “review” proposed legislation is before it’s filed or publicly announced, not after people publicly ridicule her ignorance. So forgive me if I think she’s more “concerned” with being outed as a fool (too late!), rather than constitutionality and redundancy.

Sadly, Scott appears to be running unopposed in her solidly Dim district; so there’s no opponent to tip off as to her legislative incompetence.

DC Ammunition Limits: That Didn’t Last Long

Back in July, Dick Heller sued Washington, DC. Again. This time it was over a stupidly arbitrary (or is that arbitrarily stupid?) limit on the amount of ammunition a lawful concealed carrier could carry. This wasn’t even a law or ordinance, but just a nonlegislative “rule” issued by the chief of police.

Given the “general historical tradition” test of Bruen, I figured that was going to get shot right down.

Upon seeing that, I immediately thought of the Militia Act of 1792, which actually specified a minimum amount of ammunition to be carried, not a maximum. And very much more than a single loading of the firearm (also required).

The cesspool city backed down.

Subsection 234.1 is repealed.

The TL;DR is, Umm… given Bruen, we can’t think of any sane way to rationalize our arbitrary capriciousness without getting laughed out of even the lefty DC District Court.

On the downside, if the Court leaves it at that, we miss a judicial precedent saying, Bad dog! No you can’t do that!

On the upside, the silly ammo limit is gone.

For now.

Random thoughts on Justice

6 Comments

Dr. Simone Gold has been released from the gulag a couple of weeks early. She read a speech about freedom on January 6th at the Capitol. Apparently the poor dear actually believed it would be true in the Xiden crime junta America as well. Well, the corrupt judge (he went to law school with her and didn’t recuse himself) showed her, off to prison she went. There are still POWs in America being tortured and denied human rights.

This is going to be another one of those columns where 3 or 4 things happened within a day or so of each other, and all hit me as tied together, at least to my mind. Including Dr. Gold’s release, she’s a real ER doctor as opposed to “Dr.”/nurse/minder Jill, by the way. As well as a lawyer.

The first was I just finished a series I got from The Great Courses called WWII: Up Close and Personal. I thought the teacher Professor Keith Huxen did a very good job.

The second was I re-watched an episode of “Twilight Zone”, Death’s Head Revisted. I watched it the first time when fellow writer Y.B. Ben Avraham sent a link to it awhile back. It stuck with me. It’s a bit less than 30 minutes. And after the end of my 4 disc class, I just wanted to see it again.

Death’s-Head Revisited (Dir. Don Medford, 1961) from CAJ on Vimeo.

The ending is what hit me. Without giving too much away, there are ways G-d can arrange justice. Even people that think they have safely gotten away with crimes most heinous. I like my justice to be clear, and I want to see it. Sometimes it doesn’t happen that way. Sometimes it comes later than I would like, but as I am a mere mortal with a spark of G-d in me, I’m learning to let it go. It’s not always easy. If you don’t want to watch it all, start at about 20 minutes and 35 seconds in.

So, I don’t think I’ll give so very much away if I tell you the setting for the episode is a concentration camp.

The next two bits go together. Think about the conditions of what living in a concentration camp would be like.

And this is what Germany is facing this winter.

European commission to propose price cap on Russian gas; some EU countries wary over the move | WION

The EU thinks they are going to hurt Putin by putting on a price cap…HAHAHAHA. And make up the needed fuel with renewables….solar power, for Germany, in winter?

UK and Europe are Facing Soaring Energy Costs; 70,000 Czechs Take to The Streets in Protest

I understand from one of my favorite war correspondents that OBI (Like Home Depot) is selling firewood. It’s very expensive and not much of it. You can’t go cut your own, you need a permit for that, or hire someone with one to cut it for you.

Germany Powering Down

‘The situation is more than dramatic’: Germany is rationing hot water and turning off the lights to reduce natural gas consumption

Germans warned of further food price hikes

That should be enough for you to get the idea, basically, they’re doing it to themselves. No one made them do this, it was a choice.

Which led me to this random thought, The Battle of Michmash, in the Bible. Shmuel 1 Chapter 14.

But here’s an interesting tidbit in the story.

For some time, the Philistines had been extending their rule over large parts of Israel. The Jews were paying a yearly tax to the Philistines, who were represented in Israel by a governor. This representative of the Philistine government did not allow the Jews to possess any armaments, for fear of a rebellion. Even farm implements that had to be sharpened had to be taken to the Philistine over Lords who, for a price, used to sharpen them. Not a sword was to be found in all Israel. Only Saul and his son Jonathan, possessed this priceless weapon. Saul was determined to expel the Philistines from the Hebrew territory.

The more things change….right?

But here’s the part that I think applied, you think the Israelites have no way to win this? There’s Jonathan and his armor bearer with one sword among them. I’ll skip to the juicy part.

As soon as the patrol spotted Jonathan and his adjutant, they ordered them to approach. Jonathan attacked, and the patrol of twenty men was completely annihilated. This bold act struck terror into the hearts of the Philistines, who suddenly trembled at the prospect of meeting the Jews on the battlefield. Overcome by this unnatural fear, they attacked each other blindly, throwing their camp into pandemonium.

The Philistines decimated themselves in battle. Huh.

Ok, so this has nothing to do with the column, but I think it’s interesting and you might also. Knowing Bible history can save your squad. How a British general used biblical tactics in battle against the Ottoman army.

This last bit comes from the 4th disc of my class from the last lesson on the disc. It’s from a letter a woman in a death camp wrote for her son to carry to her husband. Otto Dov Kulka, was the son and he passed away in January of last year. I think it’s worth typing it out what professor Huxen said about it for you.

In it she raged against what she knew was the impending death of her innocent son, in the next sentence she had called for revenge and justice for the murder of innocents that would have to be achieved in another transcendent sphere of thought, culture, religion or history. In documenting their memories the holocaust survivors who became its historians bequeathed to future generations a history that, even if the written word falls short of conveying their experience, it can be forgotten only at our own peril.

I found this very profound, and it was what tied the stories together for me.

And in a way, it gives me hope as I think about the innocent men and women being held in a gulag for nothing more than walking inside the capitol after the doors were opened from the inside and police waved them in for some of the cases. It gives me hope as President Puddin’ head rails against half the country, or more, against his nazi back ground of blood red and black with the military standing behind him. For nothing more than the “crime” of daring to think differently than his demonic demoncrat party. The party that celebrates mutilating children and trying their best to push religion and G-d out of the country and public discourse. It gives me hope as they force an experimental gene therapy shot into unwilling bodies even as it’s deadly side effects are becoming more evident every day. Innocent people have been cut off from family and friends, they’ve lost jobs, and some have lost their lives in this totalitarian state. It gives me hope for justice.

I cry out to G-d for justice.
